From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No wonder you guys say you don't like Gnome. You like clutter and lack organizational skills. It's ok though. We all have our burdens to bear.
Do not misunderstand me. I don't generally use a lot of desktop icons. For the most part, the fewer icons are on my desktop the better, but I do have a few.
But back when Ubuntu briefly got rid of them, it sucked because occasionally I do want some icons on my desktop.
In short: if you don't wanna use any, you don't have to; just gimme the damn option.
Also, I never said I dislike Gnome.
Oh I know I'm just being purposefully jerky. That's the best part about Linux; options!
